I was banded on May 26th at 211. I now am at 197. I just had my first fill of 4ccs two days ago. I cannot eat anything! The pain is not worth it!!!!!!!! I am looking forward to more weight loss with this new restriction, but it is difficult to get used to.

OMG I am in the same boat as you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I was banded on may 26th and I ate potato soup on day 2, and mashed potatoes on day three etc. I am three weeks out and can and do eat anything, just not big portions. I was on vacation last week and ate half a cheeseburger. I think I probably screwed everything up, but I am super hungry all the time!!! I have read that this is a limbo stage that sucks until you get the first fill. I am praying that I did not cause myself major damage. I am trying to be on my shakes now that I am home. Good Luck............

I feel just like you do!!!! We started out almost the same weight I was 212 and I am only down to 199. I lost 10 pounds before surgery and have only lost two pounds since and it has been three weeks. I have cut my calorie intake to a third of what is was and I thought the weight would fall off. I'm hoping my body is just adjusting to everything. I am trying to be upbeat and keep working at it. Good luck to you...........I hope we both do great with this!!

I am being banded tomorrow. I am scared to death. After reading your blog I am even more scared!!!! I am worried about the pain and feeling so crappy after...........Do you think it's worth it? Are you glad you did it?

I am also one with a lower BMI. Where was this free study? I have to self pay because my insurance won't pay. You are freaking me out with the throw-up issue. You can't get anything down, not even water?

You have given me so much information, thank you!!! I am having surgery in 18 days. How long did it take you to feel better after surgery? How do you feel now?

Thank you for responding. That is good information and different from the doctor's response.

I am so scared/excited all at the same time!!!! I worry about the complications and the problems. I am a mother of three with my youngest at 2 1/2 I don't have time to be out of it for too long. How long do I need help with the kids for? The shorter the better, my mom's not that friendly...........I am very healthy (high blood pressure) and exercise already, I'm just about 75 lbs. overweight and my BMI is 37. What do you think? Should I go through with it?
